The Robots' Rebellion: The Story of the Spiritual Renaissance
This is a DVD Copy; it will come in a paper sleeve. Authorized DVD Copies intended for educational purposes only.
We live in a world which is increasingly dominated by revolutionary new technology but, according to author and lecturer, David Icke, it is WE who are the robots. In this DVD, Icke reveals the alarming extent to which people of all nations have allowed themselves to be programmed by the ideas fed to them by those in power. Fearlessly, he tears down the veils of hypocrisy, built up for generations by the corrupt forces of Church, State, science and commerce - and reveals the true pathos of the human condition beneath. He points, too, to the frightening influence wielded throughout the planet by a merciless and manipulative network of secret societies. The existence of long-established links between Earth-bound humanity and beings from other dimensions and planets in the Universe has been suppressed for years, says Icke, by the world's power-broking hierarchy. When ordinary people learn the real role they have to play within a rich and varied cosmic society, rebellion against those who have kept this extraordinary truth from them will, he predicts, be inevitable. Hidebound politicians, bankers, economists, educationalists, scientists and the leaders of the world's established religions are not going to welcome Icke's "Robots' Rebellion". But it is not intended for those who wield and abuse power. This DVD is for the world's unwilling robots who, says Icke, in an upbeat conclusion, have it within themselves to rise up - and take control of their own exciting destiny.

You may scoff at David Icke, and unless you can understand his reptilian assertions as metaphor, you probably do, but read this and quake. A lot of sense, an astonishingly resonant historical overview, and a dreadful prophecy which, as I write, on the dawn of Britons having voted to leave the EU, seems ever more likely.

This book draws upon many other authors. It is indeed a compendium of knowledge, most of which has since been proven without a doubt. I read this book in the mid 1990s. . What a journey it has been . Now Mr. Icke is a world wide icon.

Drunk uncle meets hippie cousin on LSD for this book. Don’t get me wrong David Icke highlights serious flaws with organized religion, and his historical narrative was on point with past atrocities that society glosses. But when the author switches from history to application he offers little really choice and little real proof other than speculation and here-see (that the author even admits cannot be proven).
His chapters on religions oppression and violent history are fantastic and raises real concerns the church has yet to allow to be truly wrestled with. I mean I grew up in a religious school with a Crusader as a mascot.
Ultimately the book becomes the rambles of a lunatic with little support for his opinion, only to say said support is suppressed by everyone else. Then says this proof-less support proves that everyone else used proof-less support to proof their opinion.
Worthy read to challenge your thinking, he offers some scary predictions that have come true, but ultimately this book falls flat as the opinion of a man who has been screening too long to know he’s lost.

Truth before it was muddled by reptile-mongering. Whatever the truth behind the secret government, the message of love, unity, and transformation is priceless.

I am giving the book 5 stars, but that is not to say that the book does not have its problems. Let's start with its strengths: The book is written in a very consistent and simple manner, it makes it easy to understand and communicate otherwise very complicated issues. The author wrote it in 94 but it is still very actual, and a lot of what he said just became more clear with time. some parts are truly visionary, and the channeling for this book seems to be quite good, I tend to agree with a lot of what is said.
Now I must touch on some elements that I disagree with, and find problematic and even lame at times. The book has a general lack of references, and sometimes I know that the author is not taking the info out of his mind, but still no author is quoted. Though I understood almost everything that the author was saying, he just did not go deeply into some points, and perhaps he should, somehow his followers lack the detail of several points, for instance: ufology, the author should give examples of cases of UFOs that the ETs are multidimensional, how he came to this conclusion? Or what is a Multidimensional ET? Really this does make a difference, he is not 100% sure of what he is talking about in this respect or does not know how to explain, but ok, in general, he is quite alright, but I found several leaps of thought, like this part on ufology, that he expects people to buy it without doing a deep research and explaining, in a more professional way ETs, as it is an important point for him.
He owns a lot to two Williams, the Bramley from "The Gods of Eden" which this book is basically a version of the book, with some differences (but still it is different enough to make it interesting), and Cooper, the American conspiracy theorist who end up killed by the CIA. The author really has a strong political influence from Cooper, I just don't know if he is a radical right or radical left.
The main problem, but I guess it was a common trend through the 90s and up to recently, is to accuse the West and its ideologies of everything that is wrong with humanity, the book has at least 30 pages criticizing Christianity and Judaism, but has only 5 criticizing Islam, but Islam was ever harsher than Christianity overall and has not been reformed, on slavery he basically takes Islam off the hook, but Islam used as much slavery as the Christians, it also used slave soldiers and white sex slaves. So this overall white guilt is not proportional and not realistic. Overall a very good read, but this white guilt really makes the book a bit outdated.

Why do I read Icke? I'm not so sure. I think it is a real shame that he often gets 70% of things right but his conclusions are often based on pseudo-science or antisemitism. Advocating for peaceful sit ins, distrust of oppressive structures and asking elected officials tough questions are all great things to advocate but using the "protocols of the elders of zion" was a truly yikes thing to do.
Some of what icke proposes is up there with the best dystopian sci-fi out there and I feel bad for people who take what he says as gospel, as underneath it all I feel that he wants people to question narratives not just sign up to something else that appeals to their anarchic self interest.

This is the book where David Icke took a hard turn into conspiracism, largely ripping off William Bramley's The Gods of Eden for the "secret history of the world" section and resorting to sources like Bill Cooper's Behold a Pale Horse for the "how the conspiracy works in the present day" bit. In this he follows Cooper in trying to rehash the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, an infamous antisemitic hoax.
Absolute bilge, interesting only if you are keeping track of Icke's drift into extremist politics. Full review: https://fakegeekboy.wordpress.com/201...

Really enjoyed this one

This book was an interesting read. Especially the chapters on religion were a real eye opener.
I always find it hard to summarize David's books. His thoughts seem to meander quite a bit ...
But I always feel good, and happy, and hopeful afterwards.
We all have to think for ourselves. We have to decide if we want to be a part of the system as it is, or if we want to help build something new, and healthy for all of us.

I have just re-read this book after first reading it back at the time of its original publication. Back then I dismissed it as the inane ramblings of a mad man. But that’s the thing with David Icke - it’s easy to be persuaded by the media that he’s bonkers, but with the benefit of hindsight, much of what he says in this book has been shown to be spot on.
Thirty odd years later, I now feel that actually, if David Icke is crazy, then God help the rest of us!

This was before the reptilians, before 9/11, before a LOT of stuff. It's vintage Icke. He preaches love and tolerance, and warns against fear and oppression. I worry that his later stuff won't emphasize all that as much, but I'll find out when I get to it. The book is centered around concepts that relate to love and tolerance, but it addresses just about every topic you can think of, including some amazing commentary on barter systems and mutual aid. This guy gets it.
I had to take a break after the first 60 pages, which are kinda brutal. My tentative review said, Robots Rebellion is one of Icke's weaker efforts. His ambiguous writing style is great when it's mixed with the positivity of his earlier books; but it's not so great for a more historical book. I'll still keep moving through his bibliography, and hopefully finish this one at some point. There isn't anyone alive who's writing anything so imaginative as The Biggest Secret and Alice in Wonderland.
If only I'd pushed a few pages further, where Icke presents the theory that Jesus didn't die on the cross: with the help of Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea, he faked his death. This theory is actually quite popular nowadays in the country in which Jesus might have lived out the rest of his life: India. After Icke gets us out of the bloody ancient days, he rolls through Jesus, Paul, Constantine, and so on, sketching out a 2,000-year-long battle between good and evil.
(P.S. I NEED to read the following books: Love Changes Everything, In the Light of Experience, and Days of Decision. These were all written before Robots Rebellion. They seem to be the only David Icke books that can't be found online at a reasonable price.)

As someone who doesn’t completely agree with everything the author says in this book. But I respect him and learned much from him in the past as well as more recently too - I find it interesting to visit his earlier work like this to see how much has come into fruition - and credit where it’s due the man deserves more credit. Sometimes I just feel he says things he expects us to take it for granted like aspects of religion and amongst stuff - which I know (in my faith certainly) am well versed in he simply gets wrong - BUT I totally get what he’s getting at even when I feel he’s wrong about stuff and can tell his intentions are good and message for the betterment of all of us
Certainly intriguing information to be pondered about from this book even if you don’t agree with it - I respect the man for awakening many up to the hidden realities of life - even if not 100% accurate or agreeable - it’s better than being totally blind to them
Also while his solutions to problems raised in the end are good - just a shame, as easier said than done more than ever it seems looking the state of the world and where it’s going - if only!
Idealistic even, as evidently seeing this book was written almost 30 years ago and it’s only gotten worse - but credit to him for least putting solutions out there.
To Our Continued Success!

"Power is only the ability to persuade one group of people that you have power over them."
The game plan of the Illuminati (the small number of people on this planet who know the truth and who pull all the strings) is to rule the world. They are moving to form a world government. And they will make it look like we are demanding it.
This book is mind-blowing, five-star brilliance. Even if you don't believe a word of it, it has quality entertainment value.
It's a harrowing read. I have been no stranger to anti-establishment politics for nearly twenty years, but the information (or concepts, if you prefer) presented in this book add a whole new dimension to world history, the current state of world affairs, and the direction in which we're headed. I felt frozen with the horrific enormity of it at points.
Even if what David Icke presents here isn't true, it still *is* true in effect, because we are living what he describes.
Interwoven with the credible information is a fantastic story of our ancestors having been seeded by extra-terrestrials, some of whom were benevolent and some of whom were not. The ETs are still working with the Illuminati on science and technology way beyond what they inform the public about. We set foot on the moon before 1969, time and space travel are already with us, free energy is possible but we're led to believe we have to burn fossil fuel and thereby destroy the planet for profit.
Extra-terrestrial technology can project holograms. ETs could easily manipulate the Ancients into believing that they had seen visions of God. Hence the religions as one form of tool that has served to divide and rule the world's people.
This is a history of tightly controlled, merciless movement towards malevolent world domination. And it is a call to action that we stop allowing ourselves to be programmed by those we believe to be in power.
The Robots' Rebellion is an exciting, shocking experience. Put scepticism aside and treat yourself?
